There's folks that chide their neighbors And there's folks that pass you by; There's topes � thwt. tett theirtruirbtes Till you nearly want to cry; There's folks to crush the weaklings And there's folks to curb the strong, An' now an' then there's folks that likes To jolly folks along They're better than the blossoms That come smilin in the spring; They sound a cheerier greeting Than the birds that love to sing; And oft when heroes falter, An' when wiser men go wrong, Some genial feller keeps things straight By jollyin' folks along. --Washington Star. GENERAL ARTICLES. An Appeal. We have just received a little tract entitled "A Call to Service in the Master's Harvest Field. An Appeal", by Mrs. Ellen G. White. It would be impossible to emphasize too strongly the importance of giving earnest and prayerful consideration to this solem appeal. The character of the instruction may be judged by the quota- tions given below. A copy of this tract will soon be sent to all the church elders and to others who may write us for a - copy. "Now, as ever before, the great and wonderful work of this message is to be carried on. "Our periodicals are to be distributed by men and women in all stations and walks in life. Young and old are to act a _Aar/. "We have, as it were, been asleep re- garding this_ matter. "Let everyone professing the name of Christ act a part in sending forth the message, The end of all things is at hand, prepare to meet thy God.' Our publica- tions should go everywhere. The circu- lation of our periodicals shonlithe greatly increased. `It is our duty now to employ every possible means to help in the proclama- tion of the truth. " We are to work as we have never worked before. The Lord is coming very soon, and we are entering into scenes of calamity. Satanic agencies, though un- seen, are working to destroy human life. "Now is our time to work with vigilance. Our books and papers are to he brought to the notice of the people; the gospel of j5resent truth is to be given to our cities without delay. We need to arouse to our duties. "Just now, when people are thinking seriously, literature on the meaning of the signs of the times, wisely circulated, will have a telling effect in behalf of the truth. "God's judgements are abroad in the land. "Now is our opportunity to make known the truth to them. "The Lord is soon coming. In fire, in flood' and earthquake he is warning the inhabitants of this earth of his soon ap- proach. "We have no time to lose. We must make more determined efforts to lead the people of the world to see that the time of judgement is near at hand. Care- fully prepared literature on the signifi- cance of the scenes we are now witnessing is to be circulated everywhere. "0, if our people would feel as they. should the responsibility resting upon them to give the last message of mercy to the world, what a wonderful work would he done. A thousands times more work , for God might be accomplished if all his children would fully consecrate them- selves to him, using their talents aright, "The councils of heaven are looking _upau ynil, whia—claim � baize-,fixed Christ as your personal saviour, • to see you make known the salvation of God to those who sit: in darkness. "Every Christian, high or low, rich or poor, learned or ignorant is to talk of the kingdom of God, to speak of Chiist and him crucified to those who are in ignor- ance and sin. "If the curtain should be rolled back you would see souls perishing in their sins, and the church idle, indolent, un- sympathetic, absorbed in selfish interests. "The Lord God of heaven would have the entire church devising ways and means whereby high and low, rich and poor may hear the message of truth. "There should be companies organized and educated most thoroughly to work as nurses, as evangelists, as ministers, as' canvassers, as gospel students, to perfect a character for the divine similitude. "From town to town, from city to city, from country: to country, the warning message of present truth is to be pro- claimed. "Wake up! Wake up! My brethren and sisters, and enter the fields in America that have never been worked." Mrs. Gorich from Fort Collins, made a short visit in Denver last week. ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. Fl ELD REPORTS. New Mexico. In many ways I am much encouraged at the outlook in the territory. We have decided to pitch two tents this summer. One at Silver City and one at Roswell. Elder Hoover and Brothel' Bray and wife will conduct the effort at Silver City, and perhaps later move the 'tent to De- ming. Elder Warfle and wife will con- duct the Roswell effort. There are a number of interested people at these places, and the prospects are encouraging to hopefulness of good results from a summer's faithful efforts. Elder Leland is finding a number of interested Mexicans at Alamagordo where he is laboring. It has been my privilege while in New Mexico to talk to the Mexicans on several occasions. El- der Leland acting as interpreter. There are earnest souls among that people. A large majority of the Mexicans are Roman. Catholics, but we must take the truth to them and that very soon if we wish our Lord to come. We must discharge the debt we owe to this large foreign speak- ing population, that God has placed with- in the very borders of our Conference. Then, too, the American population of New Mexico is increasing rapidly and there soon must be an increase in the number of English speaking workers in the territory. We are glad to see faithful canvassers like Brother and Sister Weeks at Albuquerque and Brother Scott near Roswell, and others working in this great field, and we are rejoiced to learn that several now are expecting to come from Union College and canvass in New Mexico this summer. We ask the prayers of all God's for the success of all of these work- ers in our great Conference missionary field—New Mexico. I have now visited nearly all of our churches and workers here and am now at Roswell, in the Pecos valley and will report again in another issue of the ECHOES. H. M. J. Richards. Albuquerque. I came here with Elder Richards and began meetings among the Mexicans. Have had meetings every night and twice on Sabbaths and Sundays. We have had a fair attendance all the time, nearly the same persons coming from night to night. The testing truths are being presented and now the lines are being drawn. 0 what a solem work it is. It makes me sad to see some deciding to stay outside the kingdom. Some have taken a firm stand, and some are in the valley of decision. I hope to have a small company of faithful believers here yet. We have to combat • the beast as well as his image among this people. The darkness is so dense ,and they so slow to accept, but we can only trust in his grace for the results. The work among the Americans here is in great heed of help. The church is small, and there are a goodly number of Americans who would accept the truth if a proper effort could be made for them. We ought to have a tent effort here this summer. � J. A. Leland. Fruita. I am glad to tell the ECHOES family that we are of good cheer and are hold- ing up the banner of truth. We meet together every Sabbath and have a: live Sabbath school. We are delving down into the mine of God's eternal truth. The little ones are interested. A casual looker on would realize the truthfulness, of this statement, as it is written in 'their little faces and their beeming eyes When they come to class. We learn scripture quotations beginning with the first letter of the alphabet. Even the smallest one of the Sabbath school is on hand with a verse. Some of the children have been selling Story of Joseph and we have been • scattering tracts like autumn leaves. Mrs. E. M. Knox. Denver. Last Sabbath, June 2, it was our priv- ilege to bury in baptism six precious souls. Sabbath, May IT, eight others were baptized. Sabbath, June 15, a number are to follow their Lord in this solemn ordinance. We do praise the Lord for what he is doing for us. Many of these dear ones who are taking' hold are excellent young people. Out' Sab- bath and Sunday evening services are growing in attendance. Many strangers are in attendance. Some are taking. their stand with us just by attending the meetings. And a goodly number through the Bible work in the homes of the peo- ple. The "Easter" tract which we distributed in the city is doing a igood work. We are planning to pitch our large fifty-foot round tent in the city in a few days. We are looking. forward to a good harvest of souls this summer. Pray for thework here. G. W. Anglebarger. From Our Native Workers in India. We give below a letter which we have just received from Brother W. W.t Mil- ler, in India. We trust that this inter- esting letter will stir up our enthus- iasm in regard to the work in that field and remind those who have been delin- quent in paying the birthday offerings for the support of our native workers. Calucutta, India, April II, 1907. Dear Brother : The two Santa' work- ers are doing fine. Just a short time ago I was up there and baptized four Santals, one whole village turned out to see the baptism, the met of the vil- lage as well. He is a large man, a great hunter, and also a drunkard. One of the candidates was a woman, and I tell you it means something for a woman of this country to forsake her idols and embrace christianity. The wife of one of the men who was baptized left him and her parents threatened to kill him. They will do most anything to prevent their friends from becoming christians. Yet, the power of God breaks down these hindrances and souls take their stand for the truth. Matla and Fata go from village to village preaching the truth. They en- dure hardness as soldiers of Jesus, so you can be sure that the money you send them is well spent and in a good cause. The work among the Bengalis is go- ing forward. A leper has taken hold of the truth in East Bengal, amidst bitter persecutions, yet he is standing firm. He has no toes or fingers, and since taking his stand for the truth his prop- erty has been sold by, fraud, and his horse taken away, so that he has to de- pend on the charity of others. He was healed of leprosy many years ago, and when he found out that the same Jesus that healed him kept the seventh day Sabbath, he said, "I will follow him, let come what may." We had him brought to our meeting and his testimony was most touching indeed. � It made our hearts throb, I tell you. When asked what he would do if they took his property away, he answered, "I will show them my hand's and feet, that they may know I have no way of making a living. Then if they take 'it, all right. I will not forsake this truth, for the same Jesus who healed me will not for- sake me in my old age." There are many interesting things to write, but where is the time? I know it is due your Conference to have re- ports from this field, and you must have them. Brother and Sister Shaw are ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. back again and no doubt they will keep whiteness which crowns the troublesome things. How often do we look about us unconscious of all the light and the many blessings, and view with terror the dark- ness and sorrows far beyond. A lady in one of my parishes illustrates this thought. Nothing is ever beautiful and pleasant to her; all is dark even in the midst of the most brillant light. One day she was met by a friend who was out enjoying one of the summer's most beauti- ful days, who said to her: "Ah, what a beautiful day this is." Then, with a sad face :uplifted, and with sorrowful and long-drawn-out words, she said: "Yes— Yes—But—it will rain to-morrow." This same lady greeted her on another beauti- ful morning: "This certainly is a pleasant day, and Mrs.—,cannot find any fault to burden it with," thought the kind lady. Turning to the woman approaching, she said, "Well, Mrs.—, isn't this a bright and cheerful day." The answer came with her usual accents, "W-e-1-1, y-e-s, but the grass is wet." In -all the fields of rich blessing, places filled � evidences of God's love and care, cannot we find every moment some- thing to cause our hearts to send forth a hymn of praise, adoration and joy? Look for the rose which crowns the thorny bush, and not look for the thorns which -have fo � remain low -in- � the .presence of- the roses of God's garden of rich and choice blessings.—Selected. Good Words from the Canvassers. "God has blessed me all the time I have been Out with my books. People have been very kind to me. I am of good courage. � Anna Oleson." "I thought when I started to canvass in Ft,, Collins that I wouldn't get to take an order, but the. Lord has been with me here as well as in Loveland. Earnestine Hochschorner." "The Lord will have a tried and work- ing people. I long to see our peopte take up svme line of aggresive- work, and move‘forward with the message. J. E. LeMaster." "I am glad I have given ,Albuquerque a thorough canvass, and that all have had the opportunity to have the truth in their hornefs. There is a good opening here for a Bible worker. � Frank Weeks." "I can see the hand of the Lord in my work. I sold a book to a Catholic lady whose son is a doctor. She said, "I want that 1pook, and I am going to study it." Mrs. J. E. Oldrnan. "I canvassed a man and ,when I had shown the book he said to his wife, 'That's the best book that has :ever been here. I also secured an order from the pastor of the Uuited Brethern church. Mrs. C. F. Innis." "I came to a place where it said, 'Keep this gate shut.' I thought it was a bluff on Satan's part, to keep me out. I went in and secured the man's order. Thank God for his leading power. I find souls hungering for the truth. I met a lady who almost begged me to give her a read- ing on the Sabbath. � C. F. Innis." "I have known for some time that, God had a work for me to do. What joy it: is to be working with.God. I am in the work to stay until God has something else for me. � I thank him for a part in the closing work. � Henry E. Darby." "I secured an order from a lady whose husband is a Catholic, but is much troubled over his present condition. In speaking of the book she said, "If it will give him peace of mind, and theassurance that he is accepted of God, then I will be willing to die. We had prayer together, and she thanked me with tears in her eyes for having called. I know God will bring peace into that home. W. R. Stevens." "I am still testifying of the hope and faith I have through Christ. Pray that I may be -rn-are-humbler. a ad -that-the love of Christ may be shed abroad more in-my heart. � J. D. Vincent." "God has wonderfully blessed my ef- forts and I thank Him for it. I trust by his help to do more in the future." Effie Hudspeth. "I pray that many of our young people will feel it is their duty to help in the Lord's work. I am of -good courage. H. H. Haffner." Brethren and sisters of the ECHOES family, does it do your heart good to read these good reports and experiences? We could put in many more if we had the space. Would you like to have some of these good experiences too? Then 'come over and help us.' The Lord is inviting you. Come, and help us finish the work. J. J. Jobe. Obituary. Franklin Harford Gartman, died in Denver, Colo., May 2, 1907, of heart fail- ure. Brother Gartman was born in Ot- tawa, 111., March 8, 1857. Colorado has been his home for many years. He came to Denver with his companion last September. Death came very suddenly while sitting, in his easy chair. His wife left his side for about five minutes and you informed. � 111 We are grateful to your Conferenec for the interest that you are taking in this field. Praying that this may find you pros- pering and of good cheer, I remain, Your brother in hope, W. W. Miller. Church. School. Notes. Thursday evening, May 3oth, the dos- ing exercises of the Boulder Church School were held in the auditorium of the church. An interesting program of a missionary character was given by the pupils, which showed earnest work on the part of the students, and careful training by the teacher. The musical numbers were an especially pleasing feature of the prograin, consisting of quartettes and double quartettes. The voices blended well, and the selections were given with spirit. There were several missionary poems and exercises given, a description of India and its needs as told by two boys and two girls beingespecially interesting. Infact, every number was so good, that it would be hard to decide which was the most pleasing. Eight of the pupils were presented with Certificates of Scholarship, showing that they have completed eight grades of Church School work. The primary Department was not largely represented on the program, as their term was closed at the end of the eight months, the board becoming fearful lest they should not have sufficient means to continue both rooms the nine months. But the Lord so abundantly blessed the earnest efforts of the school board, thatvbesides.paying all expenses and some on a. pastclebt; they were enabled to purchase_ a,:newrLittetnaz - tional Dictionary for the stliool.1,, At the close of the program Eidet Wil- cox made a few rernarksAelling.of, the struggles of this school,aad shOwing-,how, from seeming defeat at the beginning, the Lord, through the :perseverance -of the church, had brought succ-eice; Those present weresimpressedAo-Avork harder for the school -next year.

Brother Gartman had just embraced the blessed truth and he with his companion were expecting to be baptized the first opportunity. Sister Gartman has since been baptized and united with the church, and is one of our most faithful members. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. The deceased leaves a wife, one brother and two sisters. We believe that our brother sleeps in Jesus and that he will come forth in likeness of Christ. G. W. Anglebarger. NOTES AND ITEMS. Mrs. B. L.
